TO AIIL WHOM I'l MAY CONCERN: i

Be it` known that I, J. S. FARRINGTON, of thecity and county of Milwaukee, und State of Wisconsin, ha-ve invented a new and useful improvement in Spring-Bed Bot-toms; und I do hereby decla-re that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art. to make und use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming .part of this speciimtion, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation View; and

Figure 2, a. section. l

Similmletters of reference in each of the figures indicate corresponding parts.

A, guide-rods at the corners of the bed-bottom. B, rubber forming the centre of the holes in the corn-ers of the bottom frame, through which pass rods A. C, bell-mouth openings of the top und bottom of the holes 4in the bottom frame, allowing free play of rods A when thrown out of'V perpendicular, by means of one side or 'one corner of the upper frame being depressed more than other portions of said upper frame. D, pins with which to adjust rods A und hold the springs down ns muy be desired. E, `top und bottom frame. I?, springs. G, slats on which the springs stand. Across the upper frame courus or some other 'textile fabric,issn-etched, to which the top of the springs is attached. i

Operation :l Vlxen one side or one corner of the top frame is pressed down by weight the guide-rods A on the weighted side pass down through the holes- C, und the other side is prevented from rising up by pins D in rods A. To preventthe head of the bed sinking lower than the foot in consequence of more weight coming on that pm't, the foot should be pressed down lowcst on the start,` und held so by the pins D in rods A.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

Top and bottom frame E, with bell-shaped openings with rubber B, gude-rods A and pins D, uli lcombined land arranged substantiallyns and for the purpose described.
